Chapter 6 / Command Reference
keyboard specifies a two-character identifier of the keyboard lay-
out. You can choose any of the keyboard codes from the previous
table or examine the directory of your MS-DOS diskette for addi-
tional
KEYTxx.COM
commands. Be sure that your MS-DOS sys-
tem diskette is in Drive A and that it contains the
KEYTxx.COM file that matches your selection when using this
parameter.
IUS
specifies US scan codes. You may need to set this parameter
to operate some application programs that are configured for a
US keyboard.
Notes and Suggestions
• When SELECT is used to make an international backup MS-
DOS diskette, the MS-DOS system diskette must be in Drive
A.
• You must reboot the computer with the newly created MS-
DOS diskette for the new keyboard layout and country code to
change.
• SELECT creates new AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS
files on the backup diskette. The versions of these files on the
original diskette are not copied.
Examples
5elect ftl44 uk
selects the United Kingdom date, time, currency symbol and
decimal separator and the US keyboard layout. A new MS-DOS
system diskette is created with these new settings.
5elect
49
gr
IU5
selects the German date, time, currency symbol and decimal
separator and causes character scan codes to convert to US scan
codes as required by some keyboard layout and application pro-
grams. A new MS-DOS system diskette is created with these
new settings.
5elect 33
causes the current date and time format, currency symbol and
decimal separator to change to French formats.
